From gender and historical perspectives, the authors systematically examine all levels of education - early childhood, primary education, secondary education, adult literacy, higher education, technical and vocational education and informal sector training and employment. They shed light on underlying reasons for persistent gender gaps in education in Kenya. The analysis offers an understanding of how far we have to go in achieving the Education For All (EFA) goal of eliminating gender disparities and achieving gender equality in education.
